Common Cast In Justice League?

Posted by: Luke

The Justice League of America film has been put on hold for a couple of reasons. But of course the main reason has been the strike with the WGA. The studio felt that the script needed a bit of re-working but because of the strike the whole project was put on hold.

Today MTV Movies Blog has revealed that Common was cast to play John Stewart aka Green Lantern. Common told the site, "It’s a blessing really, to know that I could potentially be this superhero,” he enthused. “Justice League itself is an honor, and Green Lantern is an incredible character to play. It’s a blessing to be associated with it.”

I think Common can definitely pull off this role. He does have some acting chops having recently worked on American Gangster and Wanted. He is another rapper who is building himself an impressive acting career.

As for Justice League of America I'm not entirely sure if the film will even happen. I know Christian Bale was not a fan of the idea but maybe with the new script he may change his tune. Then again recasting Batman has never really been a big deal. They have already done it numerous times. We'll fill you in as this story develops.
